A comparative evaluation of engine cleanliness was performed on the transport gasoline blended with bio- alcohols, and this study was considered to achieve the aim of greenhouse gas reduction in Korea. In particular, the fuel blended with bio-ethanol and bio-butanol showed the best engine cleaning performance both on combustion chamber deposits and intake valve deposits. The deposit control gasoline additive was effective to remove intake valve deposits. In contrast, the amount of combustion chamber deposits were tend to increase even though fuels blended with bio-alcohols were used. In overall, fuels blended with bio-alcohols, compared to fossil fuels, still showed outstanding performance in terms of engine cleanliness.

It is very difficult to express the state of a tested engine objectively concerning the malfunction, failure and wear of an engine. The general method of engine evaluation is to express evaluator's opinion for the engine state after testing. However, these methods is only subjective evaluation because test engineers, designers, and evaluators does not easily coincide in opinion. Therefore, in this article, the method of engine rating are introduced in order to represent the qualitative trends into quantitative value. The purpose of Engine Rating is to assign a quantified value to the tribology state of a tested engines. Originally, this Engine Rating method have been used to evaluate the performance of engine oil quantitavely. Using this method, we can predict the proper interval of engine oil change due to its objectivity. So, we can prevent the frequent change of engine oil and protect the environmental contamination. Furthermore, this method can be used to tell the general state of a tested engine after finishing engine durability tests. A single merit scale is used to evaluate numerically the state of cleanliness and the mechanical condition. Generally, a part which is absolutely clean or shows no wear, is rated merit 10. A part which is absolutely dirty or very worn, is rated merit 0.
